Physiology of Bacteria (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Unlock the science of how bacteria live and grow, from energy flow to cell division.

This concise, instructor‑level overview presents the physiology of bacteria through a practical lens. It emphasizes physico‑chemical principles, experimental methods, and the relationships between growth, fermentation, energy use, and death. The book outlines how researchers measure growth, energy yields, and fermentation rates, while clarifying how cells build and consume their building blocks. It is written to be critical and readable, with summaries that help distinguish facts from theory.

• Foundational concepts on energy sources, fermentation, and growth in bacteria and other simple life forms.


• Discussions of how temperature, substrate concentration, and cell density affect growth and fermentation.


• Guidance on interpreting data, including rates, endpoints, and experimental design.


• Historical context and the author’s balanced presentation of competing ideas.
